Re: Installing Debian (Sarge, 64 bit) on AM2 platform fails, update
Hi all
Thanks for the replies, both on and off list.
Yesterday I went to a local PC shop for some rounded IDE cables and
decided I'd better buy a cheap network card too. Installed it (Realtek
8139 chipset, well supported in Debian) and re-installed with the
netinstall CD I'd got earlier. This time, it worked. After a few trail &
errors I got a fresh 2.6.17.1 kernel installed and low and behold: the
onboard network was recognised by the forcedeth driver!
Now the base system is installed it's time for the services. Apache-2,
the latest Webmin, an FTP server and such will be the next challenge.
Thanks again for your help!
One more thing though: is the development team interested in the output
of the hwinfo command? Or any other command(s) to get a better
understanding of the AM2 platform? The hwinfo.txt file I have is approxx
155 kB in size.
